Q:I am 30 years old and take Antoxylforte capsules, Evion capsules, vitamin c after my workout with whey protein, dextrose and creatine. I want to know if consuming antioxidant capsules like Antoxylforte is good for health? Is it an anti-ageing agent?

A:None of these products are required by a person consuming a normal, nutritious diet. Only if there is specific deficiency of a specific vitamin, should one take that product. Otherwise over use can lead to overvitaminosis. None of them are ‘anti-aging.’
